Dissertation for the Doctoral Degree (effective fall 2020)

Policy is revised for fall 2020 to:

  • Clarify that a dissertation is required for the Ph.D. degree, rather than all doctoral degrees
  • Replace language regarding dissertation committees with more up-to-date information
  • Remove graduate faculty status levels (e.g., A-1, F-3)
  • Eliminate summer registration requirement (unless student is defending or using university resources in the summer)
  • Include disclaimer that credit hours earned in Dissertation II do not count toward the degree
  • Adds university-wide deadline for filing the dissertation
